"Although they were vastly outnumbered, the fighters managed to persuade the soldiers to surrender without firing a shot. "

That suggests most of the soldiers were in sympathy with their "captors" and are traitors.
If not, they deserve to be executed for a spectacular display of cowardice, so either way I wish them ill.

Perhaps we'd be better off if Pakistan finished becoming 'Talibanistan II" so a proper war with India could end it.

India has the ideal combination of nukes to destroy Pakistan, ground troops to finish the job, and a large enough country to survive a nuclear exchange. There is no hope for a non-Jihadist Pakistan because as a Muslim state that is all it can be. It needs to be removed as a threat to civilization. The region would be vastly better off with India dominant.
